Info
Littlehampton Lifeboat Station is an RNLI station located in the town of Littlehampton in the English county of West Sussex in the United Kingdom. The station is located on Littlehampton harbour side on the eastern bank of the River Arun, a quarter mile from the harbour entrance and the pier. The current lifeboat house on Fisherman's Quay was built in 2002. The lifeboat station currently operates with two inshore lifeboats: a B-class (Atlantic 85) lifeboat, Renee Sherman (B-891) and a D-class (IB1) lifeboat, Ray of Hope (D-769)The Arun-class of lifeboat (in service 1971–2008) was developed by the RNLI working with the now defunct William Osborne boatyard in Littlehampton and took its name from the River Arun, upon which Littlehampton harbour is built. No Arun-class lifeboats have been stationed at Littlehampton. Osborne's built more than 100 traditional lifeboats over the years, and also worked on the prototype Tyne class, and fitted out the prototypes for the Severn and Trent class lifeboats.
